Antoine Duval, born in 1988 in France, obtained his master's degree in Materials Science & Engineering from the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées (INSA), Lyon, France in 2010.He performed graduate studies at the University of Grenoble and received his PhD in Polymer Science at the Laboratories CERMAV (Centre de Recherche sur les Macromolécules Végétales) & LGP2 (Laboratoire de Génie des Procédés Papetiers) for his research on the 'Use of wheat gluten as material: improvements in the presence of industrial lignins'.

He is currently working as a postdoctoral researcher on a joined research effort between Prof. M. Lawoko's group at the Wallenberg Wood Science Center (WWSW) at Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm and prof. C. Crestini's group at the University of Rome 'Tor Vergata': The project focuses on the charaterisation of lignin and lignin-carbohydrate complexes, isolation and fractionation of lignin, and the chemical modification of lignins for various applications.

Antoine Duval's research interest include general reserach on biopolymers and their potential uses as materials, especially proteins and lignin. Polymer chemistry and physical chemistry.
